Participant[quote=spdrun]Nope — a lot of the channels are un-encrypted. You may even get them in digital (look up clearQAM).[/quote] That’s great. So just hook up your TV to the wall outlet?
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]The result was spectacular and the cabinet job only took one summer weekend and cost about $40![/quote]Amazing!
Participant[quote=Hatfield]apparently if you have cable internet, they don’t have a way to turn off the analog cable TV channels. So we’re still get 60 or 70 channels for free.[/quote]
Don’t you need some kind of box or decoder in order to get those freebie channels to your TV?Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=Diego Mamani]I like my circa 2001 kitchen cabinets, but I hate their color… a little too light for my taste. I would like to change them to something darker. Is staining or repainting something doable? (As you can see from my questions, I’m not an experienced DIYer…)[/quote]
Look into refacing for a fraction of the cost of new cabinets.[/quote]
Thank you BG. There’s refacing and there’s re-staining. I’ll probably go for the latter, but will likely hire someone to do it…Participant[quote=paramount]Near the end of 2010, GM acquired a new captive lending arm, subprime specialist AmeriCredit. Renamed GM Financial, it has played a significant role in GM’s growth (…) The automaker is relying increasingly on subprime loans, 10-Q financial reports shows.
(…)
GM Financial auto loans to customers with FICO scores below 660 rose from 87% of total loans in Q4 2010 to 93% in Q1 2012.[/quote] What will happen when GM Financial goes under? Uncle Sam will bail it out, of course. And it won’t matter whether Obama or Romney are in the White House.ParticipantI like my circa 2001 kitchen cabinets, but I hate their color… a little too light for my taste.

Participant[quote=squat250]i went out and test drove an accord this morning with my wife. i got a free $25.00 visa card for doing it. the salesman looked kinda young which means im old. and i was driving a car that my wife said looked like only an old person would buy. we looked at the available colors and she said, “old people colors”.
She said i looked old walking around peering in the windows.
So how do i get the best deal on these things?[/quote]
Best deal? Perhaps joining some sort of association for old people will get you some discounts…

Participant“But here’s the point I would make: In 1960 … we had $30 billion on the balance sheet of the Fed. It had taken 45 years to build that up. Then, as they began to rapidly expand the balance sheet of the Fed during the inflation of the ’70s and the ’80s, even then it took us until September 2008 – the Lehman collapse – to get to $900 billion. Had the balance sheet only grown at 3%, which is what the capacity of the economy to grow, I think, really is, it would have been $300 billion, so they were overshooting.
“($900 billion is three times where) we should have been by the Lehman crisis event. In the next seven weeks, this crazy lunatic who’s running the Fed increased the balance sheet of the Fed by $900 billion, in seven weeks. In other words, they expanded the balance sheet of the Fed as rapidly in seven weeks as it had occurred during the first 93 years of its existence. And that’s not all, as they say on late night TV: in the next six weeks they added another $900 billion. So in thirteen weeks they tripled the balance sheet of the Fed.”

I’ve used this dude in the San Fernando Valley area. Very thorough. The realtors were both really pissed at him, LOL!
Participant[quote=AN]I used to break faces easily (done it twice).[/quote]
Watch faces, I hope you mean…
Why don’t you wear your watch on the right hand?Participant[quote=Fearful]Lots of people still wear hats, me included. They are hardly restricted to photos and movies.[/quote] I meant the hats with brims all around them, like my grandfathers used to wear. Of course, baseball caps and the like are still being used. Or kids today put on a fedora to look “cute” and make a fashion statement, but that’s nothing like hats in the 1940s, when leaving your house hat-less (especially if wearing a suit and a tie) would have looked really weird.
Participant[quote=nla]Funny, outside the house, I feel NAKED without a watch.[/quote]
Me too, but I refuse to spend more than a few bucks on one. After I bought my Mustang, I bought a sharp-looking watch from eBay, with a Mustang logo, for $30. Looks really nice for the price and has served me well for over 10 years.That said, I’m 100% convinced that watches will go the way of the hat. We’ll go from everybody wearing them, to only old geezers (that is, us) wearing them, and finally it will be something you only see in old photographs and movies.
We really don’t need them. Even if you don’t use a cell phone, there are clocks in your computer, car, desktop telephone, cable TV or satellite box, microwave oven, regular oven, conference room at work, etc., etc.
Participant[quote=flu]So damn annoying….. The ones that go “my kid this, my kid that. my kid is brilliant…blah blah blah blah blah”.
…How about a nice dose of STFU…..
That is all.
FLU, boycotting the tiger mom/dad scene…..[/quote]
You probably saw the Joy Luck Club scene about competitive parenting. Kinda funny to watch, but it must be annoying to have a talk with these parents. And it must be hell for their kids!ParticipantIt’s really unfortunate, and for some reason cops seldom write tickets for tailgating. They are overly fixated on speeding tickets, no doubt as a source of revenue, but I digress.
When an idiot is driving too close behind me, what I do is to gradually slow down, at some point the moron gets the message and changes lanes. I also make sure that I’m not in one of the faster lanes, because if I were, then I’d be the moron…
